“The offspring of creatures you don’t like?” Hermione asked in confusion, curiously looking towards where Canberra’s gaze had briefly lingered.
A large, dense forest grew there, pitch black at night, making it impossible to see anything.
“Is there anything in there?” Hermione squinted, but still couldn’t see anything.
The distance was too great, and it was too dark.
“Many creatures live over there,” Canberra casually pointed her tentacles towards the Forbidden Forest, “The variety of creatures inside is very rich.” “Alright,” Hermione nodded, then excitedly looked at Canberra again, “Creatures you dislike?
What kind of creatures are they?” Given Canberra’s identity as a Kaiju, any creature she disliked would certainly not be ordinary.
Hermione was extremely curious.
“Hmm…
they should be a type of spider?
That’s what you humans call this kind of creature.” Canberra thought carefully, then began to explain to Hermione.
She was quite willing to answer Little Cub’s questions.
“Spiders, huh.” Hermione pursed her lips.
Indeed, the thought of those multi-legged creatures scuttling around was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
“Their ancestor should be Scylla, one of the Kaijus.
Its metabolic waste is a bacterium deadly enough for most animals and plants.
Just one of them could pollute a large area of water.” Canberra couldn’t help but fiercely coil her tentacles as she spoke.
Every appearance of Scylla would pollute water sources.
Lakes, rivers, and oceans would naturally be no exception.
That’s why Canberra, who lives in the ocean, detests Scylla so much.
Although the bacteria released by Scylla had no effect on Canberra, who wouldn’t want their home to be a bit cleaner?
Hermione couldn’t help but click her tongue as she listened to Canberra, “Ah…
is it that destructive?” “Sounds like a creature designed to cause extinction.” “Little Cub is very smart.” Canberra gently patted Hermione’s head with her right hand, praising her.
Unfortunately, Hermione felt no joy from the compliment.
She turned her head in alarm, looking at Canberra in disbelief.
“It’s true!” “Yes,” Canberra nodded as a matter of course, “Kaijus like Scylla are responsible for maintaining ecological balance and causing mass extinctions.” “That’s why it’s so annoying…
at least it annoys me.” “But for every good, there’s a bad,” the tip of a tentacle wiggled, and Canberra continued to explain, “Scylla seems to be able to alleviate the problem of melting glaciers, preventing all terrestrial life from going extinct at once.” Hermione breathed a slight sigh of relief.
This was more like it.
At least Scylla could still serve some good purpose and wasn’t a pure destroyer, otherwise, that would be too terrifying.
However, thinking of those descendants of Scylla in the Forbidden Forest, as Canberra had mentioned, Hermione’s anxiety rose again.
“Then, those descendants of Scylla living in the Forbidden Forest…
they wouldn’t also be able to release deadly bacteria, would they?” Canberra smiled and reassuringly squeezed Hermione’s hand back, “It’s alright, they’re who-knows-how-many generations removed from Scylla.
Their bloodline is extremely diluted, so they don’t have Scylla’s abilities at all.” “They probably just have venomous fangs?” “And they’re incredibly small.
I could squish them all with one tentacle.” Canberra said, even waving her own tentacle in front of Hermione, “showing off.” Hermione was amused by Canberra’s actions.
She looked at Canberra with a wry smile, realizing that she had been too startled earlier and her mind had become muddled.
If those descendants of Scylla in the Forbidden Forest could really release deadly bacteria, then how could Hogwarts have been operating here for so many years?
The Professor and students, the entire school, would probably have died out long ago.
Shaking her head with a smile, Hermione mocked her own lack of composure.
Then, in her now clear mind, she recalled the Kaiju distribution map she had drawn.
Spider-shaped Kaijus…
she remembered there was one on the map.
“I remember, on the Kaiju distribution map I drew earlier, using the information released by the Monarch Organization and my own research into myths and legends, there seemed to be a spider-shaped one.” Hermione tilted her head, recalling carefully, “It seemed to be in…
in Greece.
Oh, right!
Their legendary sea monster had that name, Scylla!” Her thoughts clicked into place, and she clapped her hands, affirming her realization.
Canberra raised a tentacle to scratch her head, carefully recalling the information she had gathered after the other Kaijus went into slumber.
“Scylla might have stayed in Greece, but I remember its sleeping place wasn’t Greece.
It seemed to be in…
a place you humans call Arizona.” “America, huh.” Hermione clicked her tongue, “Godzilla and MUTO also went there to fight.
Why is there so much trouble in their region?” Canberra shrugged, “I don’t know.
Maybe they just like to stir up trouble.” “Indeed, always jumping around,” Hermione muttered softly.
She didn’t have a good impression of that country that relied on its strength to bully others.
Harry and Ron sat opposite the two girls, watching them converse quietly with their heads bowed, neither of them daring to interrupt.
They just sat silently in the small boat, watching the shimmering Black Lake.
Canberra leaned back leisurely against the boat, her tentacles, hidden beneath her Wizard robe, extended and plunged into the water, slowly stirring the lake.
The Merperson and giant squids underwater instantly retreated further inwards, afraid that being too close to Canberra would result in them being caught and eaten as a snack.
“Heads down, everyone,” Hagrid’s steady voice came from the front, “After this bend, you’ll soon see Hogwarts for the first time!” The new students obediently lowered their heads.
Canberra also silently bent down.
Then, a magnificent Castle appeared before her.
“Wow, Hogwarts is truly beautiful.” Hermione exclaimed, looking at Hogwarts, and Canberra nodded in approval beside her.
“It is beautiful.
You humans really know how to enjoy yourselves.” Despite having lived for an incredibly long time, Canberra now felt that perhaps the years she had lived in the past…
Had not brought as much enjoyment as humans experienced in their short hundred years.
“Hehe,” Hermione giggled, affirming this without hesitation, “Humans develop technology for better survival and enjoyment, after all.” Once the goal of better survival is met, isn’t it time to start enjoying life?
“Hmm.” Canberra nodded thoughtfully.
Who wouldn’t want to enjoy themselves?
If she could, she would also want a huge palace that could accommodate her original form, preferably with a large enough bed inside, allowing her to spread out all her tentacles and lie on it comfortably.
Yes, a certain Kaiju who had slept on a human bed was already starting to dislike the hard seabed and the not-soft-enough sand.
As they drew closer to Hogwarts, Canberra’s attention became increasingly drawn to it.
When Canberra’s attention was fully focused on Hogwarts Castle, a faint, elusive biological aura piqued her interest.
Interesting.
Something was actually trying to block her bio-electrical signals?
Canberra licked her lips, her playful spirit ignited.
She immediately perked up, concentrating her bio-electrical signals and pressing them relentlessly towards Hogwarts.
Ancient magic deep beneath Hogwarts vibrated incessantly, seemingly trying to resist the bio-electrical signals attempting to probe it.
Canberra recognized it as magic, raising an eyebrow.
She unskillfully channeled her internal magic, forcefully crushing the resistance.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
